Audiobook #3 : Perfect opening and final chapters, with a whole lot of unmatched prose in the middle. The good shit.

How do you rate a book whose story you didn’t care much for that nonetheless gave you a lot to ponder? This short book works well as a fable or morality tale but isn’t especially satisfying as a piece of fiction just for the story itself. Good if you want to think, less good if you’re looking to be entertained.
